Sleeping On Space Station - Intimate Look Inside The Crew Quarters | Video

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti gives a tour of her "bedroom" aboard the International Space Station. It is equipped with two laptops that provide voice over IP service for phone calls, internet, (which she says is "not super fast,") and more. -- Showering In Space: Samantha Shows Off Hygeine Corner: goo.gl/zf4oeO

that's so unreal, looks like a film, i really love those videos.

[@skimask13]

Thanks for your service Samantha Cristoforetti! You are a hero.

[@nightowlinsesh]

She thanks your comment. God bless

[@oliviamefi1187]

This is so dreamy. How cool, if only there sleep quarters had window view wonder if they would ever fall asleep being so fascinated by what they see on the planet.

[@skraminc]

the russian side has windows in their sleep quarters. it's almost impossible to find a picture or video of them, though. they're not very fun with showing the world their part of the station

[@josephfrechette9916]

​@@skramincI saw on video from the Russian side. It didn't include the bedrooms thought. The Russians are a lot better at designing for long term comfort. The US is more focused on maximizing function rather then making it feel like home.

[@izah-RN]

I will miss Samantha's vlogs from space. Welcome back To Earth tho! ☺

[@anamarvolo]

I would love to try sleeping in space :3 But I would probably be too busy looking outside of window

[@prabhchahal4492]

anamarvolo when living there for months, the view will not remain the special after some days

[@pires4641]

Prabh Chahal Dont know about that....

[@Quagigitymire]

anamarvolo I was thinking the same thing myself. I couldn't sleep! I would be far to consumed with the overwhelming fact that I, myself, was actually in orbit and the view that only a handful of others have ever seen would never grow dull. Surely, given enough time I may pass out as I float about having the time of my life, but not because I was trying to sleep.

[@gglenn991]

For the first 2 days lol.

[@shwetacarcharla1293]

Exactly

[@workingZen]

How facinating! Its cool they have their own bit of private area each. Must be so weird not really having a direction. I play some space VR and it makes me feel ill.

[@hello_itsryan]

I wonder how it feels like to return to Earth after spending a long time in space. Imagine jumping, expecting yourself to float to the other side but you fall back down, realising that you are bound by gravity.

[@c140075]

+Ryan Lim You would be too weak to jump. If you watch what happens after the crew comes back from space you'll see people actually carrying them be cause they're so weak. Not sure how long that lasts though.

[@hello_itsryan]

+c140075 I see. That's pretty interesting!

[@KandiKlover]

You're always bound by gravity even when not on a planet and always in a constant state of motion. You got the planet's gravity, the star's gravity, and the galaxy's gravity. Even outside the galaxy it's pulling you in. You will never be free from gravity.

[@TheSquishey]

I wonder what it's like sleeping in zero gravity...especially floating like that...That's gotta take some getting used to.

[@TheSquishey]

***** It'd be so weird. Hahaha

[@jdgrahamo]

TheSquishey You've never fallen asleep in the bath?

[@TheSquishey]

Gammel Prutte Nope, wouldn't you drown? haha

[@jordon_9333]

Must be odd not having a pillow too!

[@TheSquishey]

Achena US I thought that too! her neck has gotta be just hurting in the morning!

[@michaelhogg324]

That is AWESOME! I wish that I could sleep like that! I do have to ask how do they do their Laundry in Space?

[@buddyclem7328]

Good question. They don't. They throw away their dirty clothes. It sounds wasteful, but evidently that's the most efficient way to do things right now.

[@oliviamefi1187]

The ISS went pass my hometown twice this evening within a space of 2hrs. So lucky to view it from Auckland New Zealand

[@commandvideo]

They should have put sleep rooms beside windows so they can watch the earth as they listen to a relaxing music.. woww so dreamy

[@Factacceptancemovement]

Honestly, although I’m sure it’s fun playing in zero gravity, I think I’d lose my mind being stuck in that space for months at a time

[@nishant4866]

This feels so surreal. Anyone else?

[@headphonic8]

it feels like something from the future. to imagine just calling up someone on the space station is nuts!

[@martinkunev9911]

0:42 What does it mean to be past midnight on ISS?

[@TheSwanies]

ISS works on UTC, so past midnight is simply past midnight in UTC-time

[@Roy_Godiksen]

Makes me wonder: Is it better or worse for your back to sleep in zero Gs?

[@2718aj]

Yeah you won't have any back pain it would actually fix them. It lows allows your spine vertebrae to relax and release its tension. When you stand up all your vertebrae get squished together from your weight and holding your head/body up. Being in zero gravity it allows your spine to stretch and not carry tension letting each vertebrae have sufficient room.

[@ConvictJ96]

Chris Hadfield spoke on this in a wired video, It's not bad for your back however some people in space get tension which can produce back pain.

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

Give you an example. The Late Stephen Hawking, a prisoner of his own body, confined to his chair, dealt with pain issues. He went on a zero gravity plane. there's pics of him floating and smiling. He said he felt GREAT

[@tbusman1]

How do they do laundry up in space?

[@valenesco45]

Buon ritorno a casa AstroSam :)

[@johndasinger5032]

I love their sleeping room looks cozy! I bet their necks don't hurt from looking at their computer!

[@92jwiener]

Very cool and informative video! Thanks for upload!

[@UyenTranonyoutube]

So cute!

[@jamesfox8930]

floating sleep would be awesome but freaky when you wake up in different positions

[@CadStr]

I have the same laptops!

[@simoboveri]

Samanta la nr 1!

[@Logstudent1988]

just imagine sleeping while floating... :( wish i could experience that..

[@thehammurabichode7994]

2:47 "Ehh, fleshlight... can come in handy" (Disclaimer: Don't google that, kiddo)

[@nightowlinsesh]

Space living is like a submarine lifestyle. Not under water but in space. Same concepts 💡

[@JohnV170]

Except your weightless in orbit but other than that yes its very similar.

[@fretalhpdnal3521]

Can't toss & turn without pressure

[@Crisperdad]

so cool!

[@Quapadople]

Grazie Samantha:)

[@benefit14snaake]

That's awesome. Not sure I would like to sleep floating lol

[@Officialmzzy_gt]

I have been to the iss

[@Bloggingidiot]

ISS. The only place in the universe where you don’t have to wear a fucking mask.

[@RUSLexplorer2020]

Interesting !

[@ASTROTZUR]

"We all float down here Georgie boy!" ;)

[@gillianorley]

I guess back pain or waking up with a sore neck after sleeping in a "wrong" position is not a problem.

[@TheOnlyZiTRO]

i wanna go!

[@bambang303378]

In 00;43. When she said " After midnight" I wonder what time zone she was referring to? Italian? or some other places?

[@JohnV170]

They have their own time up there that they use. Since they cant use normal time zones when they orbit earth every 90 minutes.

[@mr.vivachious1855]

My only dream is to become an astrounout i wish i have this dream since i was 6 and i am 15 now but i just want to become

[@katherinequiles1663]

Who’s here in 2024 trying to see how the astronauts that went for 8 days have turned to 80 are doing

[@2718aj]

*GOOD BYE BACK PAIN* no mattress to cause me back issues

[@swayze_janek]

What module is that?

[@VideosVonDennis]

I want to float too during sleep :(

[@dankpenguin4205]

how internet works in space

[@belloadekunlegodwin7823]

How do they feed there and pass out excreta?

[@JohnV170]

They have a video on that too.

[@Mad_Flavor]

why i got never ever the chance to sleep like that? :(

[@tux_the_astronaut]

Looks like their using windows 2000

[@Cruttons052]

i want to go to a space station :c but i dont have the training nor the fitness to do so xD :(

[@drmodman1990]

Lol 12:00 is that minecraft on the laptop??

[@CptMikeTango1]

A fleshlight??

[@ckymadam]

Come on! let me show you how I sleep~~ OK, I have 2 laptops...iPad... What a space nerd!!! lol I bet she web browsing with that sleep bag on.

[@sun9378]

amongus irl lol

[@user-bu5tr3yu2f]

What kind of person dislike？？？

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

flat earthers and space travel deniers

[@Whatshappening2024]

She pointed right for port, I hope she does not give directions or follow them to get lost in space lol.

[@snipesmith9741]

Jinzo the cameras mirror the image, making our starboard her port

[@KandiKlover]

Nope it doesn't mirror. Nice excuse though .

[@doyoulikedags3534]

Well, she's facing us and so, she's got her back to the 'front' of the space stations, so our starboard is her port and so you sir are an idiot

[@sinsy104]

show us what happens when you comb your hair

[@xrhstos237]

Are you kidding me??

[@Ollie-wx2nu]

can kids go to space

[@MazEnigma]

no

[@pierrethefilmmaker2232]

no

[@jaytrock3217]

They can go, but most parents don't want them to come back.

[@HYEpower]

Has anyone had sex in space, wouldnt it be very difficult? Maybe not possible without being strapped in

[@Guitarfollower22]

What about sex in space? Can a guy get a girl pregnant?

[@prabhchahal4492]

Guitarfollower22 nasa has a strict no sex in space policy. Plus with no gravity or downward pull, the process does not take place...

[@Nichoalsziv]

Prabh Chahal i also imagine the vigorous thrusting would likely set the station off course, their exercise equipment is carefully designed to exert no net forces on the station.

[@prabhchahal4492]

Well, i think if both persons r not holding any part of the iss ( handles, supports, walls etc) the thrusting wont alter the stations trajectory. It will have to done with precision lol

[@Nichoalsziv]

Prabh Chahal what would they be thrusting against? each other? enh that could work i guess. this is weird yet kind of a fun though experiment.

[@prabhchahal4492]

Although nasa is structly against it. But i do believe they would have done one such experiment for result purposes without it getting public. You never know

[@slickjames1]

3 days and 2 nights max for me. Otherwise no thanks.

[@CalumHGaming]

Can't be much fun sleeping in weightlessness

[@misterbrio4114]

Ddfftt

[@omega4chimp]

Nobody will ever live in space we will all die of floods.

[@ingoodmusic]

This is just ridiculous

[@jajuny1627]

ingoodmusic why?

[@SuperBruno666]

it looks so fake

[@notwoke22]

Liar.

[@JohnV170]

Oh look we have another highschool dropout who thinks hes smarter than everyone else lol
